At approximately 3 p.m. today, members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force arrested Kevin McCray in the 500 block of Canal Street at the Crowne Plaza Hotel without incident.

McCray, 36, has been charged with attempted murder, use of a firearm during the commission of a felony and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon for shooting at his brother this weekend.

Investigators are currently consulting with the commonwealth’s attorney’s office regarding further charges against him in connection with the shooting, which injured his 101-year-old grandmother.

At approximately 12 a.m. on Sunday, officers responded to a home in the 00 block of East 20th Street for a report of a person shot. When they arrived, they found a woman who had been shot in the neck. She was taken to the hospital where she is now in stable, but serious condition.

Investigators have determined that two of the woman’s grandsons were arguing over money and started shooting at each other inside the house.

Steven L. Taggart, 28, who lives at the home, was arrested and charged on an outstanding aggravated assault warrant unrelated to the incident.
